A syrinx is a rare, fluid-filled neuroglial cavity within the spinal cord (syringomyelia), in the brain stem (syringobulbia), or in the nerves of the elbow, usually in a young age.n the case of syringomyelia, the syrinx can expand and elongate over time, destroying the spinal cord. Since the spinal cord connects the brain to nerves in the extremities, this damage may result in pain, weakness, and stiffness in the back, shoulders, arms, or legs.
Straddling its huge rock, towering over Tibet's capital of Lhasa, the Potala Palace is one of the world's most iconic buildings and is a symbol for Tibet itself.Sitting at an altitude of 3,700 metres, the 119 metres tall, with over one thousand rooms on thirteen floors, it is the highest ancient palace in the world.he Potala Palace is, in fact, two palaces in one. The White Palace, or Potrang Karpo, was the living quarters of the Dalai Lamas and his retinue. It was also the secular centre for the Tibetan government and contains offices and a printing room. The central part of the Potala is the Red Palace or Potrang Marpo.
The Grand Palace is bordered by Sanam Luang and Na Phra Lan Road to the north, Maharaj Road to the west, Sanamchai Road to the east and Thai Wang Road to the south. Rather than being a single structure, the Grand Palace is made up of numerous buildings, halls, pavilions set around open lawns, gardens and courtyards.Its asymmetry and eclectic styles are due to its organic development, with additions and rebuilding being made by successive reigning kings over 200 years of history.he Phra Maha Monthien (à¸à¸£à¸°à¸¡à¸«à¸²à¸¡à¸à¹à¸à¸µà¸¢à¸£) group of buildings are located roughly at the centre of the Middle Court, therefore at the very heart of the Grand Palace itself. The traditional Thai style building group is enclosed by a low wall, as this was once the residential and sleeping abode of kings.
